Skip Spence – Broken Heart chords

Broken Heart   Skip Spence


BA broken heart be lovely
E             BBroken on the ground
BA knife stuck in the ribs of me
    C#             EWould be better be found
BHanging tree blowing gently
EA noose would be ignored
        B     B/A#     B/G#     B/F#Then to stand upon the receiving end
      E                 BOf the right hand of the Lord


F#             C#Like a thirsty cowboy
     E                    BIn a lake his tongue does rest
F#             C#Jumps in and he cannot swim
    EAnd drowns himself to death
F#         C#Or a frozen mountaineer
  EHe chugs up to a stop
 B          B/A#     B/G#    B/F#Catching his boot heel in a rock
ETwo miles from the top

B   E

F#              C#An Olympic super swimmer
     E              BWhose belly doesn't flop
  F#           C#            A super racecar driver
     E                BWhose pit, it can't be stopped
  F#            C#A honey dripping hipster
    EWhose bee cannot be bopped
B      B/A#   B/G#     B/F#Better to be rolled in oats
    E                BThan from the roll be dropped


B                 A broken heart would satisfy
E          BBroken in a mess
BA severed eye would gratify
C#             EMy soul, I must confess
BI'd rather have no eyes at all
EBe blind upon the floor
       B     B/A#     B/G#      B/F#Then to stand upon the receiving end
E                       BOf the right hand of the Lord

       B     B/A#     B/G#      B/F#Then to stand upon the receiving end
E                       BOf the right hand of the Lord
